in reply to package DB penalty?

Even if @args had been a deep copy, rather than a shallow one, of @DB::args, it stopped existing after the while {} loop ended, since it was lexical.

Hence, no penalty whatsoever.

    OOOPS!

    The variable goes out of scope, but, at least under Linux (redhat 7.2), the process still holds onto the RAM.

    Never mind.
